How can playing pal make someone lose credit? Seriously that's freakin ********
All those minor differences ultimately built a different tier list over there.
You're playing a different game.
Don't take it so personally.
None of the PAL Yoshis had to deal with the Sheik Chain Grab. 0 - 70 (maybe more) from an easily executed move (the chain grab itself isn't even that hard at all) is stupidly dumb and none of them had to deal with that. Over here, they did.
I'm not going to say that makes people over here super special awesome and PAL players not, but differences like that are, quite frankly, big enough for people to consider them different games. No chain grab changes the matchup quite a bit.
